Differential Fluid Question
It is time to change the differential fluid on my 2016 Wrangler JK. I do a little bit of light towing with my ATV. My question is has anyone used Schaeffer Extreme performance Full Synthetic oil 75w-140 or Schaeffer Supreme Gear Lube 75w-90. Thanks for the replies.

Pretty much any gear oil is good for the diffs as long as it has an API GL-5 rating

I've towed a 5000 pound trailer quite a bit. Use any synthetic approved fluid and you'll be fine. I towed the first time when it had 5000 miles on it. I now have 103,000 trouble free miles.

Diff Fluid
You should check the owners manual... I my memory is correct MOPAR Syn diff fluid is called for by Jeep. BTW.. that is what I put back in at 50,000 miles.
